Special Dispatch to the Appeal.
LlTTLr Rock, Ark, Dec. 1.-yhe death
in this city, some two months ago, OF Mr..
Mat Parker the Markham street furniture
dealer, was telcgraphed The APPEAL at the
time. Today his eldest son by his first
wife, Adolphus by name, entered a solemn
protest against the probating OF his
fathers will. Adolph is still
q minor, although it is claimed
his disabilities were removed November
IL last The will had already been adj
mitted 10 probate in common form, but
this order has now been revoked and the
will ordered presented for probate in sol
emn form December 20. The petition
praying for the setting aside OF the
order OF probate sets forth that
the wealth OF MIR. Parker, over and above
his insurance policies, amounted TO nearly
$4,000. The will in question cuts off the
children by Mr. Parker's first wife from
benefit in the same. The children are
Adolph, aged. nineteen, Alice, aged
seventeen, and Sam and Charlie,
young children OF tender years.
The petition alleges that not only are
these children left unprovided for from
their fathers estate, but that Mrs Parker
IL endeayoring, as the petitioners are adj.
vised, to secure TO her own child portion
Of the Insurance that had been taken
out in the name OF the first
wife. The petitioners further
claim that the will il unnatural
and wholly at variance with the wishes
and intention of the deceased, as time and
again expressed; that his Illness was short
and sharp, and that he suffered great ag-
onies which, being unrclieved, rendered
him incapable of tcstamentarv DISPOSE
ton; and that ut the time when
the will was made lac was almost
constantly under the influence of opiates,
and that the elder children were excluded
from their fathers presence at the time.
The petition goes on into detail and al
leges that the will was not drafted by Mr..
Parker's regular attorney, nor even in
Mrs. Parker's ptesencc, but was drawn in
another room and the dying man never
Comprehcnded the provisions embodied
therein, and that the signature was OBJ
tanned Through fraud and undue inlu-
ence."
After further detailed allegations, the
petition prays that the order OF probate be
set aside.
The contest has created considerable
comment among Little Rocks Jewish citi-
zens, rs Mr.. Parker was one OF our leading
business men. Adolphus, the son, will be
remembered as the boy train robbcr, he
being mixed up in the stopping Of Pine
Bluff passenger train Just below this city
in 1885, and who served short
term in the poni;cntiary for the part lac
played on that occasion. His juvcnility,
together with thcinterccssion oiin1ucntial
friends, induced the Govenorto granthim
an unconditional pardon. 'Dolph" had
been o wild, reckless youth, but this sad
experience took the wire edge of Of him,
and now lac is laboring 10 redeem his
record.

passing time. One would natural

SO fearful was Mr.. M. that this
kind, pleasant feeling, into which
he had been ushered, would not
be appreciated, he prefaces his
letter with the remark. II hope
no one will take offense, for none is

Elections of a mind once distracted
and confused over a rigid railroad
canvass. but now after the first
flush of victory has passed and the
smoke Of the battle no longer OBJ
scures the horizon and the second
sober thoughts have resumed their
natural sway, quiet and calm with
good will for all.
Accepting his own statement
of good will and freedom from de
sire to offend, let us, in the same
spirit, analy re and traverse h S 1t
ter of the 23d.
Mr.. NJ, in beginning his com
munication, failed to look one
grand thought square in the face,
namely: There are two sides to
every question. and each man has
the right to think and reason upon
the subject for himself. The
whole tenor of his reasoning is a
great big, straight |, and little
bit of a crooked u.
The questions as presented by
Mr.. M. were all discussed and in
diligently discussed by and among
the citizens of Benson, Bald Knob,
Flat Creek and Peaks Mill, prob
ably a good while before that
worthy gentleman thought of
them.
They have not sprung Minerva
like, from the mighty Jupiter's
brain as he fain would have us be,

And nothing would be said now
in reply, were it not that he has
allowed statements to creep into
his letter that are not only dis
creditable to himself but casting a
